I am using Samsung-exynos micro-controller...in this controller we have 6 power states they are
1) Normal
2) Idle
3) Deep-Idle
4) Stop
5) Deep-Stop
6) Sleep

But in linux Kenel we have only Four Power states, they are
1) Run
2) StandBy
3) ShutDown
4) Sleep

So my question is How the Linux kernel 4 power states are controlled Samsung-exynos micro-controller 6 power states. How its inter-linked?

Please Help me on this.

Thanks & Regards
Siva Krishna.
